Body surface area (BSA) is a measurement used in the medical field that approximates the surface area of a human body. The formula is \({\rm{BSA}} = \sqrt {\frac{{W\cdot H}}{{3\thinspace 600}}} \), where \(W\) is the weight in kilograms, \(H\) is the height in centimetres, and BSA is measured in square metres.
A newborn baby has an average BSA of \(0.2 \thinspace \rm{m}^2\). Given a baby weighs \(2.7\) kg at birth, what is its height, if the baby has an average BSA? Round to the nearest tenth of a centimetre.
